Hi,

I'm looking for information on my paternal grandmothers, grandfather.
His name was William Tidswell. He was part of a travelling orchestra so its been hard to get any information so far.

He was a bands master at the National Theatre in Dublin according to one document.

I have found him on the Irish Census 1901 & 1911 boarding in Cork & Dublin. It says he is married but has 2 dates of birth (1861-1865).

Id love to find out who he was married to and his parents names but as I have no concrete dates I cant seem to come up with anything.

My grandmother seems to think he was born in Yorkshire but on the Census it says Lancashire so could be either.

There is a May Tidswell present on his son James (Frank) Tidswell wedding certificate so this could possibly be a wife, daughter or even sister.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Tidswell sounds very English.

The dates of birth are within 4 years, not bad, try: www.freebmd.org.uk for records
The program I use has Tidswell's from 1659.

I note in the 1911 William, Band Master, Fancashire - so I would go with Lancashire rather than
Yorkshire, they are right next door.

William J. Tidswell born 1865, died 1924, Prestwich, Lancashire aged 59

William Tisdwell born 1865 Manchester, Lancashire 8d Pg.217 (registration)

Look for a marriage about 1885+

May seems to be a popular name for the Tisdwell's

May Tidswell, born Liverpool 8b Pg. 110 1901 Census

John William Tidswell born 1863

Sara,
I found your post when just trawling through a few people with interests in Tidswells.
To my knowledge there were quite a few musicians, travelling and otherwise, listed in various of the censuses. The only William I have come across is listed in 1881 living in Northampton but born in Leeds. He was 22.
Hope that might be of some help.
